Purpose and intent

SB 2919 would have authorized an appropriation from the State General Fund for Fiscal Year 2026 to Washington County to fund street repairs located in Supervisor District 4. The bill’s stated aim was to provide targeted state funding to address local roadway infrastructure needs within that supervisory district.

Key provisions (based on available record)

Appropriation source: State General Fund.

Fiscal year: FY2026.

Recipient: Washington County.

Use: Street repairs in Supervisor District 4.

The bill text and fiscal note were not included in the materials provided, so specific details such as the appropriation amount, project list, contract or procurement requirements, timelines for spending, or reporting/oversight provisions are not available in this summary.

Who would be affected

Washington County (direct recipient) — would receive state funds to repair streets in Supervisor District 4.

Residents, businesses, and road users in Supervisor District 4 — would likely benefit from improved pavement, safety, and reduced deferred maintenance.

State General Fund — availability reduced by the appropriation amount (amount not specified).

Contractors and local public works crews — potential contracts and short-term jobs tied to repair projects.

Fiscal and policy implications

Direct fiscal impact depends entirely on the appropriation amount (not provided). Any appropriation from the General Fund reduces state budget flexibility.

Local infrastructure benefits could reduce future maintenance costs and improve transportation safety and reliability.

Without the bill text, it is unclear whether funds would be restricted to capital repairs only, require matching funds, or include reporting/oversight obligations.

Timeline and procedural status

Introduced / Received by Secretary of the Senate: March 14, 2025.

The provided legislative-action log contains many entries from 2024 and 2025 that appear to be legacy or related budget actions (possibly from a different or omnibus budget measure); those entries do not clearly align with SB 2919’s introduction date.

The summary record indicates the bill “Died In Committee” (entered as 2025-02-26). Because of inconsistent dates in the provided log, this timeline appears internally inconsistent.

Recommendation: consult the legislature’s official bill-tracking portal or the bill’s enrolled version (if any) for an authoritative timeline, the full bill text, and fiscal note.

Notes and next steps

The provided materials do not include the bill text or the appropriation amount. For detailed review (exact dollar amount, project list, conditions, and reporting/oversight language), obtain the full bill and fiscal note from the legislative website or bill sponsors’ offices.

If reconsideration is intended, sponsors would need to refile or include the provision in a subsequent budget or supplemental appropriation measure.
